i'm in austin too and all dealers will do is put you on a waiting list to get a call from them when they hear official word from

if any of you know of a dealership that is actualy taking deposits let us atxers know.

 

I guarantee there will be dealers that will charge MSRP here in Cali. I just got an email from Pomona stating that they will give me MSRP on the EVO. If you do call them , do not give them my name. I had a lock on another dealer and for some reason when Hooby called to verify they told him no! Oh well, just start sending out the emauil requests to dealers in your area, let them know that you KNOW that dealers are already taking pre orders (albeit against Mitsu standards) and that you KNOW you can get it elsewhere at MSRP. They will most likely be willing to do what it takes to at least match another dealer.

Too friggin' cool, mang! I feel like mommy just said she is taking me to the toy store!

 

I am on the waiting list at about 4 dealers. The dealer in Georgetown said they would sell at MSRP with a $2000 non refundable deposit!. I broke down and put a $500 deposit in at Round Tree in Waco instead. That is guaranteed at $1000 over

I just said screw it! I want it! $1000 isn't that much for my peace of mind. I have already put off purchasing a car for the last year waiting to know if this thing is coming or not. Almost bought a WRX, but then announced January 2003 the EVO would come.

I personally emailed every dealer in TX and called about half. The dealers in Georgetown and Waco was the best I could do. But if the other dealers come along later and take deposits at 0 over MSRP( which I doubt) I will go with them. I am the 1stinline at the Waco dealer and they have no clue what the EVO is about.

Gillman sucks! they said they would put me on the list but call me when they get specs and expect at least a few thousand over MSRP.

Maxwell sucks ***! They claim they will just call everyone on the list and have a bidding war when the cars show up.

Well, $1000 is only $20.28 per month at 8% APR over 5 years. So yeah, $1000 aint that bad.

 

How is that guy from Cali getting his car from back east? Perhaps you could do the same as he with another dealer in another state. Would they freight the car to you or something? Or, ROAD TRIP!!!!!

Troy said something about including the cost of shipping...is that correct Dr. Evo?

BTW Dr. Evo....congratz on getting yer Evo from Troy. I dig him, he's a good guy. I should get Troy to cut some of my cost since I brought him customers

Hooby

 

thanks. any idea if any of those 2 silver and 2 yellows will be automatic?

Do you live in Orange County?

 

How about $1000 at 0% over 0 months? That is the way I plan to do it.

 

I wonder if Mitsu will offer their 0% financing with the EVO. I know that other dealers, dodge and their for example, exlude the high end models from the sales.

 

Hooby, you should definately get a discount for helping Wayzata make sales. Troy is a really cool guy to deal with so I didn't hesitate to put the deposit down. I just cannot wait until December. I've been buying Japanese Evo magazines and videos. The E7 kicks *** on track and on dirt. The videos shows the evos dominating the circuits on Japan. So what color do you guys want? I just cannot make up my mind on the color yet. I like em all.

 

As gay as the name sounds, french blue is my color of choice

 

Thunder Grey first and then the Silver

 

Gimme the french blue

 

We have all seen the performance of the Evo VII, but realize that is the Japanese spec with some 15-25 more horses!!! We here in the US will have a heavier front 5mph bumper that precludes a smaller intercooler and unfortunately less performance! ...and perhaps more drag Coef!

...has anyone seen/heard estimates of US spec performance? , beyond whats in C/D March/April segment.

Anyone in the OHIO area? ...the Dealers here are clueless!
